1-Methoxybuta-1,3-diene → 2H-Pyran-2-carboxylic acid, 3,6-dihydro-6-methoxy-, methyl ester

Temperature

-70 °C

The above-obtained solution was cooled to -70° C. in a dry ice-acetone bath. To this solution were successively added 88 mg (1 mmole) of methyl glyoxylate and 0.168 g (2 mmole) of 1-methoxy-1,3-butadiene. Reaction was then allowed to proceed at -30° C. for 3 hours, and 10 ml of a sodium hydrogencarbonate aqueous solution was added to the reaction mixture to terminate the reaction. This reaction mixture was filtered through Celite and then subjected to extraction once with a 20 ml of diethyl ether and twice with 20 ml of ethyl acetate. The extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Thereafter, the solvent was removed by evaporation, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (200 mesh; developing solvent: hexane/ethyl acetate=10/1), thereby obtaining 0.12 g of desired optically active 2-methoxy-6-methoxycarbonyl-5,6-dihydropyran (yield: 79%).
